Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics · 17 October 2026
Oooh my favorite (NOT!)...Another DEAD Volkswagen TDI Turbo Diesel!!
This 2013 Passat didn't even make it to 100k miles before EATING its timing belt and GRENADING the engine!!
The owner swapped in a used engine, but could not get it started without starting fluid.
Then, to add insult to injury, he HIT A DEER on the way back from the shop and the VW just STALLED in the middle of the road!!
He finally gave up and towed it to PHAD.
Can we get this Beached Whale VW Diesel to run again?
Looks like there may be more than 1 issue...
